Put this down as a heads up folks. While Obama is in the process of importing tens of thousands of “refugees” from terrorist ridden countries, the bank is checking out your memo line on your checks, even if you do online banking, to see if your a terrorist. So the man gets investigated for using the word Dash. Good luck America.
The Department of Treasury flagged a California man’s bank account — because his dog’s name, Dash, was similar to a term used for ISIS in the Islamic world, Daesh.
The alarm bells went off after Bruce Francis, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, put “for Dash” in the memo line of his monthly payment to his dog walker.
But earlier this month, he found out that his check hadn’t gone through.
“The dog walker comes to me and says, ‘I haven’t gotten your check,’” Francis told KTVU San Francisco.
“I looked in my Chase account and there was a message saying, ‘Please explain what ‘for Dash’ means,’” he said.
Banks are required to turn over any suspicious financial transactions to the Treasury Department. You betcha.
“What happens is that the government requires the banks to become in effect, outsourced spies for the government,” Hasbrouck said. (You think so huh? Anyone want to guess if they don’t a big ole fine will be coming from the DOJ over something)?

Good find, I have not seen this anywhere else. I don’t ever put anything in the memo line, but now I have a reason to never do it!

Can you imagine if you put down one of those kitchen gadgets in the memo line? The fact that I can’t even mention it tells us how far we have fallen.

Write “For: oil and lube job.” May be assumed you visited Down Low Club. You might get automatic Earned Income Tax Credit and healthcare subsidy.

Actually had a “For” example before that one. Little fox terrier I had years ago named “Kibby” (long gone). I could have done check memo as For Kibbles and Bits. That may have identified me as suicide bomber. 🙂

I get the distinct impression that none of this reflects the intent of our founding fathers. It must be the fluoride …

Funny, I had that same peculiar feeling as well. For sure, leave out the word “For Terrorism” on your checks.
